Pleasure is business and business is booming in THE DEUCE: SEASON 2 on DVD & Blu-ray Feb. 5

Experience all of the gritty drama in The Deuce: The Complete Second Season when the hit HBO show, from executive producers of “The Wire,” is available to own on Digital Download December 3 and Blu-Ray and DVD February 5. Rated 100% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, the second season features “brilliant writing, [an] immersive atmosphere and uncommonly excellent acting” (The Hollywood Reporter) throughout.

The Deuce: The Complete Second Season continues to trace the evolution and power dynamics of the porn industry in New York’s Times Square neighborhood in the 1970s. Picking up in late 1977, five years after season one, The Deuce’s backroom massage parlors and hotels have exploded into sprawling emporiums, while the New York Mafia’s grip on the porn business is beginning to slip as talent migrates to the West Coast – but for now, the city is flush with movies, music and art. Season 2 also captures the disco era in all its excesses before developers, crack cocaine, AIDS, and videotapes conspire to end the debauched glory of Times Square.

Created and executive produced by George Pelecanos and David Simon, The Deuce: The Complete Second Season is also executive produced by Nina K. Noble and James Franco. The returning cast also includes James Franco (The Disaster Artist) and first season Golden Globe-nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart), Margarita Levieva (“Revenge”), Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (“The Wire”), Dominique Fishback (HBO’s “Show Me a Hero”), as well as newcomer Luke Kirby (“Rectify”).
